Good news for all you wearable fans out there as the first 3G enabled Smart Watch will soon be hitting Canadian stores. Samsung Canada announced today that the Samsung Gear S will be available for purchase in stores beginning tomorrow November 14! The cost for the watch is pretty hefty at $399.99 but when you consider that this is a 3G capable device, the price becomes a little bit more palatable…a little bit.
The Gear S will first be available at Samsung branded stores while additional retailers and even carriers will begin to receive the device later this month. A full list of the specs for this unique device are listed below.
I’m not too sure about the necessity of a standalone smart watch but I’m sure there will be some out there who will try and replace their phone with a watch like this. What do you guys think? Would you ditch your phone for a watch? Or are we still a little ways away from ditching our smartphones?
